Chapter 217 Ashina Ni (I)
Cheng Hongzheng sighed, and there was a news from Niu Jianhu at the dock over there: Chang'an's ship has arrived! And looking at the expression of the cow and the tiger, it seems that it is not just as simple as the ship has arrived!
Cheng Hong and Niu Jianhu chatted while walking: "Is the grain loaded?" And ironware or something! ”
"It's all loaded, but there's something else besides that."
"What?"
"Go check it out!"
Cheng Hong rode to the dock and took a look, hey! The ship is full of people, fortunately the port has been renovated, otherwise these people would not be able to stand, this guy, there are more than 40,000 people!
Everyone got off the boat with one movement and was paralyzed!
In addition to people, there are about 5,000 war horses, where are these people? Cheng Hong took a closer look, why did he look so much like a Turkic? Could it be that the captives were sent?
No, I can't! It seems that although they are Turkic, there is no one to hold them at all! And there are men, women, and children, and it looks like the whole tribe has come over!
At this time, a young man led by him came over: "Greetings to the Western Turkic Khan Ashina Ni, may I ask if this is the fief of Li Ke, the third son of the Heavenly Khan?"
That's right, Ashina has finally arrived!
If you want to say that this Ashina mud is enough twists and turns, after coming to Chang'an all the way, they found that Chang'an is prosperous, not to mention the east and west cities, that is, Wei County, where they live temporarily, which makes them nostalgic.
Even Ashina has an urge to stay, if nothing else, just say that the person who sells steel needles and ironware at the door makes his eyes hot!
Steel needles, and all kinds of iron farm tools, ploughshares, even rake forks are iron, as well as firewood knives, I found out when I came here that my own knives are not as good as other people's firewood knives and steel mouths, let alone axes or something!
As a result, Ashina began to purchase and open the steel mill, and the cattle, sheep and horses were sold, and then replaced with ploughshares, farm tools, wood knives, axes......
This group of people almost ate what the steel mill produced for half a month, giving people the feeling that ~ Ashina has changed his career to farming!
In addition to the 5,000 war horses used for training, the rest of the Ashina clan is more than 2,000 cows, according to Cheng Hong's method, wearing a cow nose ring, pulling and preparing to go to Li Ke's land to borrow a piece of land to reclaim the wasteland!
When the steppe expires, he will go back to be the lord of his own Western Turks. I heard that the major families and Hu merchants have hired teams to clean up the Western Turks!
In fact, it's a hiring, but it pulls a lot of carts of grain, and after arriving in the Western Turks, everyone finds that the Western Turks are even worse than they think, but as long as there is food, as long as you can watch your food, find as many people as you graze!
After all, it's been a long time! Whether it is a murderer or a killed, they are tired.
After all, looking around is like being in the midst of wolves at any time, ready to draw a knife and cut people at any time, whether it is cutting people or being chopped, they are about to collapse!
And the food brought by Chang'an undoubtedly gave them a chance to live, who has a chance to live, don't want it, it's not death!
Therefore, now the chaos in the Western Turks is like hot soup pouring snow, and wherever the grain carts go, the rebellion will be quelled! The entire Western Turks are almost pacified!
And all the merchants bought a lot of railway bonds, as long as the railway to the north is finished, they will go from Yumen Pass to the Western Regions to repair, if this railway is opened, the entire Western Regions will become the back garden of the Tang Dynasty!
Now Li Er's eagerness for the railway, more than the war, the government decree is accessible, this is the benefit of the railway!
The merchants of the Western Turks asked for grain, Cheng Hong wanted grain, the border passes asked for grain, Gaochang asked for grain, and Dorjee asked for grain......
All places are asking for grain, which leads to the fact that although this year is a bumper harvest year, the price of grain has not fallen, which makes the landlords who sold old grain regret it!
Cheng Hong is here with another batch of people and food! When Ashina came down to sign up, Cheng Hong understood that this was his own labor!
I don't know who fooled me!
Although the Ashina clan is a people on horseback, they become soft-footed shrimp when they get on the boat, and the older they are, the more serious the seasickness.
After getting off the boat at the place, Ashina's heart was half cold, what is this place? How did it get more and more barren along the way? Was it really the fief of the emperor's son?
So after coming down, I saw Cheng Hong riding a horse to pick it up, and I reported the name first, what if the boat was pulled by mistake?
Cheng Hong responded with a smile: "Oh? It turned out to be a khan, this is the fief of Li Ke, the king of Shu, this place is called Quanzhou Port, and there are three miles away from Quanzhou City! ”
Ashina's eyes immediately turned blue! Is! This is to lend us a piece of land, this whole is to let us open up the wasteland!
Cheng Hong also saw Ashina's frustration: "Great Khan, this is not the place to talk, let's go to Quanzhou City with me!"
Ashina nodded, now it can only be like this, the goods are dead on the ground, although they are not goods, but there is no way to retreat when they get to the ground.
Because the entire Western Turks have been rented out by themselves, not only are they rented out, but the money is almost spent, if they want to return to the Western Turks, they can exhaust all the tribesmen along the way!
Now Ashina Ni regrets it a little! Why did you believe the words of Changsun Jian at that time? This time the back road is cut off, and there is not even a way out!
Cheng Hong introduced to Ashina Ni as he walked: "Great Khan, don't look at the desolation here, but there are two golden mountains here, I dare to guarantee that as long as the people of the Great Khan can eat and clothe themselves no matter what they do, they will have fish and meat!"
Ashina Ni came to be interested: "Really? Oh, and haven't asked you which one you are? ”
Cheng Hong arched his hand: "Oh, it's rude, I haven't introduced it to the Great Khan, the official Jiangnan Dongdao Governor, the Jiangnan Dongdao Governor, the acting Tang Navy Governor, His Majesty's eldest daughter and horse, and the eldest son of Lu Guogong, Chang'an Hou Cheng Hong!"
This big set directly smashed Ashina's mud! Chang'an Hou? The eldest son of Lu Guogong? His Majesty's eldest daughter's concubine?
Ashina only understood after brushing the mud that Jiangnan Dongdao, whether it was a civilian or a military, a government or a trader, including those in the water, was under the control of this one!
As for Chang'an Hou, he didn't care much, you and a grassland barbarian said that Chang'an is the meaning of Datang? It's just flattering the blind man, and it's a waste of blind effort!
So Ashina Ni immediately became a lot more enthusiastic: "Manager Cheng is really young and promising!" There is one thing here for Chief Cheng to know, my Western Turks are now full of mobs, and the clansmen have no soldiers to fight, so they can't be suppressed.
So I came to Datang to borrow troops, who thought that Datang was confronting Tubo and had no troops to borrow, so Sun Lian, the head of the Border Trade Division, gave me an idea and rented out the entire Western Turks!
Then I went to the Heavenly Khan to borrow a piece of land to nourish the people, and the Heavenly Khan allowed me to cultivate in the fiefdom of the third prince, so that the grassland would be calm, and we would move out as soon as the lease period reached without delay!
But I see that this place is very desolate, and I don't know how Mr. Cheng taught me? Where are you talking about the mountain of gold? ”
Cheng Hong looked at the anxious Ashina in front of him, and understood as soon as he heard him! I'm afraid that this goods will make the eldest grandson's family a pit!
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, let's go to the city first, as for the people of the Great Khan, if they want to live in the city, they can live in the city, if they think the city is not good, they can also enclose the land and build a village by themselves!
It's just that relatively speaking, this city is relatively prosperous! Besides, there are still a lot of soldiers behind the Khan, right? The official is building a ship, and when the ship is finished, he will go to sea!
When the time comes, it is inevitable that some sergeants will have to be hired, and the Great Khan will definitely be there when the time comes! It's a win-win, if a warrior doesn't see blood, it's like a rusty sword!
If the Great Khan doesn't want the sword to rust, it's better to take it out and sharpen it often! ”
Ashina looked at Cheng Hong gratefully: "It's still Manager Cheng's thoughtfulness!" It's time to do it! ”
Yes, it is incumbent upon you to wait until your people get used to taking a boat, and I don't believe you can still sail back to the Western Turks!
